LOS ANGELES (June 8, 2011) — Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in the Americas, today announced the availability of the demo for the company’s highly anticipated action role–playing game Dungeon Siege® III on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC via Steam®. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment®, the Dungeon Siege III demo is also available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

In Dungeon Siege III, players assume the role of one of four heroes, fighting for the sake of their fallen comrades to restore the land of Ehb. Conflict is constant in this action–RPG and decisions have lasting consequences, allowing players to alter the storyline. Choose to battle along with a companion or fight for honor with up to four friends via online co–op play. Dungeon Siege III allows for two players to experience the story from start to finish in local co–op mode. Thanks to the robust AI, Dungeon Siege III’s co–op multiplayer mode allows players to seamlessly drop in and out of battle without interrupting the action or impacting the campaign.

As one of the few remaining members of the disgraced protectors of the land, the 10th Legion, it is up to you to rebuild the once great Legion and stop Ehb from falling into darkness.
